Original Note:
Trump has not been found “guilty of rape” and he did not have a criminal trial. Civil cases, such as Trump’s, do not speak of 'guilt' but instead use 'liable' when assigning damages, as happened in Trump’s case. https://www.findlaw.com/criminal/criminal-law-basics/the-differences-between-a-criminal-case-and-a-civil-case.html https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/05/09/nyregion/trump-liable-verdict-form-jury.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-was-donald-trump-found-guilty-rape-1799935
